Chapter 121 The City of the Sky, Enoral (Part 1)
After much deliberation, Verafia still couldn’t find a suitable explanation and finally shook her head.
“No matter what, there must be the shadow of the Abyss behind the Dark Elves.”
Verafia’s golden eyes flickered as she thought, “Last time, Abyss followers were among the Dark Elves during the attack on the Fountain of Life. However, neither the Avatar of Original Sin whom I know, nor Geon’s disciple, were among them. Also, that guy Fatter…”
Verafia recalled Fatter, who appeared before her as an avatar and was shattered by the spear of the Tree of Life wielded by a phantom of the Goddess. The roaring laughter of the Magic King still echoed in her mind.
“No matter what Fatter’s true objective is, whether it’s the Goddess Siloselis or not, he is definitely our enemy.”
Such matters had been pondered many times in her heart. Verafia believed that Seraris could not be unaware of this, yet she couldn’t help but murmur, “Hmm, if that’s the case, then not only the Dark Elves, but also the Abyssal Church and the Magic Kingdom… even if they only contribute a part of their strength…”
The Elf Empire was already struggling to survive. Even if Mud brought his personal guards to the City of the Sky, it might not be enough to offset the advantage of the Night Elves. And with the Abyssal Church and the Magic Kingdom added?
The maiden’s jade hand tightened involuntarily, touching the surface of Mistetinn’s Staff. However, even with the Scepter of Life, which could rival Levantine, the Sword of Destruction, she, who was still merely a star, could at most match a Sacred Domain. More enemies…
Her teeth and tender lips were filled with hesitation. Verafia clearly understood that this was the panic in her heart when facing the unknown. This was a feeling she hadn’t had in many years; even when she faced Lancaster alone with her sword, she had never been flustered or afraid.
Perhaps back then, she only had the thought of revenge, but now, it was because she cared about and looked forward to many more things?
Her wrist was gently held, and the warmth that came from it was Fatter’s palm. Verafia saw Ophi also raise her little face, seeming to want to speak.
However, the first to speak was Seraris beside her. A gentle smile appeared on her exquisite, artwork-like face:
“Vera don’t worry. Queen陛下 just wants to meet you… If Vera has questions, she will answer them for you. It’s just that, and there’s no need for Vera and your friends to fall into danger.”
Hearing the wood elf’s rare gentle voice, Verafia couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, her golden eyes lifting: “But…”
Her other little hand was picked up by Seraris. The wood elf’s skin was smooth and delicate, the subtle warmth like the finest jade, touching her palm like a gentle fire, not appearing scorching.
Verafia wasn’t unfamiliar with Seraris, but as a girl, being held in her hand by someone who was once her opposite, this feeling was completely different from before.
Seraris gently smiled brightly, “This is also the Queen’s intention. Since Vera was invited to the City of the Sky, how could we let you fall into danger? Even if there were dangers, I would definitely be able to protect you.”
Just like you protected me before. But this sentence, Seraris didn’t say it out loud, it was only revealed in her bright smile.
Fatter, holding the girl’s other hand, gazed at the wood elf and the exquisite golden-haired girl, his eyes almost blank with astonishment.
Wouldn’t that be something he should say to coax this girl? How is it that an elf maiden said it instead?
If Senior Seraris really wanted to snatch Vera away, then he should… Hmm, he didn’t seem to be able to defeat a legendary powerhouse.
Wait, Vera’s past lover was “The Princess of the White Iris”, Filir, not Seraris, the “Emerald Singer”… But who knew if Vera back then wasn’t a player, and didn’t have feelings for Seraris?
Thinking of this, Fatter couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
“Did Vera say that as a girl, she couldn’t accept being with another girl?”
Verafia certainly didn’t know that Fatter had thought so many messy things in this short moment.
Seraris’s words, besides moving her, also made Verafia feel a little awkward.
After all, she really didn’t like awkward girls… especially in such a slightly ambiguous situation. If it made the girl even more anxious, worried about answering improperly, and if the other party didn’t think so, she would be even more ashamed and have nowhere to hide.
Just as Verafia was still struggling with how to respond, she felt her wrist being grasped more tightly.
The girl strangely turned her small face, and then saw Fatter involuntarily tightening her wrist, his face showing an undeniable expression of anxiety.
Seeing this scene, Verafia froze for a moment, her golden eyes widening involuntarily.
This guy, is he jealous?
She moved her body slightly. Seraris didn’t stop her, and then let go of the gently held small hand, allowing the girl to move closer to Fatter.
“Idiot Fatter, what are you thinking about?”
Verafia puffed out her pure white snow-white cheeks, pinching him heavily, disregarding Fatter’s awkward and dodging gaze: “This young lady and Seraris were just friends like this before. Moreover, Seraris now has something much more important in her heart than us.”
Seraris heard the girl’s voice and smiled gently. She lightly raised her emerald green eyes. The fine wind blowing in the sky gently ruffled her smooth pale green hair. Her exquisite pointed ear touched the divine light, revealing a flawless and beautiful fair face.
Seeing Fatter in front of her looking so awkward and stuttering, unable to speak, Verafia, who had been puffing out her cheeks, suddenly her golden eyes shifted. Immediately, a hint of slyness appeared on her exquisite snow-white face, and she immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered in Fatter’s ear:
“Hmph, worrying about your girlfriend being snatched away by another girl… Moreover, even if something like that really happened, as a man, shouldn’t you be lustful and thinking about getting them all into bed, to play Yuri-don?”
Verafia couldn’t even finish her words before she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle with a silvery laugh.
As for Fatter’s expression… well, hearing his girlfriend say such things to him, especially in that deliberately soft and tender, yet feignedly serious tone, he didn’t even need to look to know he must be shamefully embarrassed, wishing he could jump off Fuya.
Thinking of this, Verafia couldn’t help but laugh again.
